LiebeFreunde,

Pleasesend meas quickly as you can Tagwachtcontaining
Radek’s articles on Gorter andtwoarticles about the Australian
labour movement. I am also waiting for the proof-sheets
(1) of my articles in the C.O. and
(2) of the German theses (donotprint them until you receive my
reply: I am considering another little
			     amendment).[1]

Iam also waiting for your article for the C.O. and an exact plan of
the issue.

Pleasegive my address to Radek and ask him from me to send me thepromisedcutting fromVorwärtsof 12.I.1916 (Rühle’s
article on the split and the editors’ reply). I am lecturing here on
Wednesday, so I have very little time. There is tongue-wagging here about
the position of the
			  “5 secretaries”[2]being desperate (Russia against them) and their only hope is that Chkheidze
will lift his voice from the “rostrum”, crying:forZimmerwald!!

BesteGrüβe!IhrLenin
